Since beginning my career in the fashion industry aged 15, as a founding contributor at Teen Vogue, I’ve been involved in many sides of a fashion week show. From an attendee to a PR assistant, sourcing nylons for the model kits the night before! I’ve also been front of house with a headset on making sure editors are seated, and been back of house dressing models or diligently escorting the designer from one interview to the other. But standing at 5’1, I’ve never walked the runway. Until this ...

Reasons to book a flight—weddings, family reunions, solo vacations—are back for many. But most of our carry-on luggage could use an update after an extended jet-setting hiatus. Not only are we looking for worthwhile finds from the best luggage brands, we're also searching for carry-ons with roomy storage and designs we can easily spot at the baggage claim.
To track down the best carry-on luggage for our return to traveling, we're turning to the experts. Here, eight travel pros including write...

Explorers have been deified through history. They have shaped our modern understanding of what it means to move around and discover the world—and who is granted the privilege to do so. Yet while many intrepid travelers are—and have always been—Black, their stories remain sidelined.
After all, how many people know the story of Bessie Coleman, especially compared to those who have heard the legends surrounding Amelia Earhart? Or the voyages of Arctic explorer Matthew Henson over those of Comman...

In late May, W Hotels invited me to explore Mexico City, which was bursting back to life as the pandemic began to fade. We all know what happened in 2020: Seemingly unstoppable places around the world went quiet. But from what I could tell, CDMX (a commonly used abbreviation for Ciudad de Mexico) had not lost any of its vibrant, fun, and cultured self after over a year of uncertainty.
I live between Brooklyn and Northern Italy and have been on a bizarre shuttle between the two locations over ...

This past NYFW, two models of the moment were noticeably absent from the tail end of the festivities. Trading the snow and frigid temps of New York City for the French West Indies, Martinican model Mélodie Monrose brought her bestie, Vogue cover girl Imaan Hammam, down to her home island for what is arguably Martinique’s biggest party of the year, Carnival.
“Well if you know, you just know. Oui?” my Parisienne friend Isabel said with a glimmer in her eyes after I asked her if she had been to ...

The Buccaneer is a storied beachfront resort with cliffside rooms overlooking the scenic Beauregard Bay on the island of St Croix.
In addition to its sprawling grounds, the recently reopened hotel has implemented enhanced safety and cleaning protocols in response to COVID-19.
I visited just before the pandemic and stayed in a mid-tier Deluxe Oceanfront room and found it to be a relaxing, spacious...

Most people have never heard of it. Others confuse it for another Caribbean country, the Dominican Republic. To many Dominicans and the people who love the 290-square-mile island, that's not such a bad thing. Nicknamed the Nature Isle, Dominica (pronounced Domi-NEE-ka), with its miles of undeveloped rainforests (60 percent of the island), healing springs, and no major resorts, is like traveling back to the Garden of Eden.
In fact, in 1998 UNESCO designated Dominica's Morne Trois Pitons Nation...

There’s more to Johannesburg than meets the eye. Use this guide to plan your trip to South Africa’s cultural capital.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - In a country that's boldly taking steps out of the shadows of apartheid, Johannesburg has established itself as the cultural capital of South Africa — and perhaps the continent. Grittier than world renowned Cape Town, the up-and-coming city is home to international fashion publications, renowned galleries, famed brands, and art collectives.

There are definitely trends in the travel industry, and Portugal seems to be the place to head to in 2016. Due to new and inexpensive routes on the country's flag airline, TAP, to many major cities in the US and in Europe, along with great variety and value for accommodations, varied terrain of seaside and mountains, and a wine and food culture as rich as neighboring countries like France and Spain (but without all the crowds), you may have noticed scenic backdrops of the country in your Inst...

"In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace -- and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
Spoken by Orson Welles' character Harry Lime in the 1949 film, The Third Man, this point of view begs the question, "does great art and culture come from social upheaval or turmoil?" One of the strongest ...

DuJour flies to Singapore to hear how revered entrepreneur KF Seetoh is helping Anthony Bourdain transform the street market landscape
For the past few months, New York’s foodie scene has been abuzz. The excitement centers on a new food market dreamed up by none other than Anthony Bourdain—part über farmer’s market, part international hawker center, the design is inspired by Blade Runner and the hidden gems of Tokyo. Even to jaded New Yorkers, it is cause for a stir. And to pull off this gast...
